What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got one of these today:



Cheap and hopefully handy mod for storing the splined lug nut "key" so it's not rolling around in the rear storage compartment. There's a sleeve on one side that the lug wrench can be threaded through.

Tire shop lost the socket when I had my wheels put on. Called SCS to get another one, and they said they recommend having two. One in the vehicle for emergencies and another in the toolbox where it's easy to get to for regular maintenance. Made sense, and since they're flat black, I hit them with some fluorescent spray paint to make them easier to find.

 

^ What he said. ^

I didn't know they opened like that. ...or is that part of the problem?

 

Exhaust reroute for rear skid plate

 

I want to do the same to mine but the pipe so close to the plastic transfer case actuator scares me to death

 

Very much the problem lol $400 problem

 

This popped up recommended on Amazon and I can’t for the life of me figure out what I would use it for. Doubt ice would survive long with the open top

I was looking at Ecoological's website to maybe order some bumpershellz in cement, (not in stock). I noticed that they have one set available in Quicksand without the sensor holes for anyone looking to hide their chrome:

Looks like it was meant to keep things like grocery bags from rolling around in the bed. There are cheaper ways to accomplish the same thing. $140 bucks is a lot for a molded plastic tub.

 

Groceries

 

Almost! I’ve got two of those as our main chairs so you’re halfway there

 

Consider regearing if you’re putting in a locker and if you haul some weight around

 

YES! It’s a really good chair. Camping next weekend for the 4th. Psyched to finally have a good chair.

 

Are these the BAMF skids? If so, I'm installing mine early next week, any tips or anything? Also--did the front recovery hook/point stay or did it have to be removed? My understanding is I'll be removing 4 short crossmembers--2 up front and 2 in the mid.

 

Redline hood struts installed. Really simple job. Hardest part was using hand squeezers to pull the rivets

 

Both - see original post

 

She’s coming along. Next up is suspension.

 

This.

I’ve got some 400 and 500 song folders, but yeah, Entune needs a FAT32 thumbdrive.

I’ve also found that 16GB Logitech sticks work better than cheapos.

 

Yes BAMF, the recovery hook can stay, remove two front and two rear supports and they go on fine. I did the first two skids, now have to put on the rear while drilling two holes for the rear skid support. All good to go.
